Talk about someone demonstrating the amateur spirit! Hector Martinez, CHARLIE-OSCAR-SIX-CHARLIE-BRAVO-FLORIDA swooped in like Superman this afternoon sending me a complete audio recording of last night's SO-59 pass, including my QSO with Norm, N3YKF/OA4 in FH18.

Not only did it rescue my own failed logging recording, but it allowed me to hear my distorted audio first-hand, and hopefully will allow me to troubleshoot the problem before the next pass.

Hector--I can't thank you enough for your act of kindness. I know that you're one of the most popular operators on the birds, and I can certainly see why. Please let me know if I can return the favor somehow.

Thanks also to Norm for sticking with the QSO through my audio distortion issues. This kind of attitude is why I love operating in the world above 50 MHz..just seem to find a better class of operator. Friendlier too.
